Overview

Craig Wood: Catalogue Raisonné is the first published retrospective of British Conceptual artist Craig Wood. This large-format paperback book covers over 30 years of Wood’s impressive oeuvre, starting in 1987 when he was studying Fine Art at Goldsmiths College of Art, London. The book is illustrated with over 500 images and features an essay by art critic and Reader of Fine Art at Goldsmiths Michael Archer, and an interview by British artist Fiona Banner. Graduating in 1989, Wood was part of the Young British Artists, and his early exhibitions included Damien Hirst’s seminal Modern Medicine in 1990. He would later have commercial representation through galleries in London, Paris and Turin. Throughout his career, Wood’s artistic output has been site-specific, examining the properties of ‘site’ or ‘context’ and how this drives creative processes. He has received numerous national awards and several prestigious international residencies, with artworks in major collections such as Tate, Saatchi, V&A and UK Arts Council. He has worked at Goldsmiths College, London, and was the Gregory Fellow in Sculptural Studies at the Henry Moore Foundation, University of Leeds (1997–2000). Today, he is a practicing artist and Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at the University of Wales, where his work continues to expand into collaboration and curation.
